One God of Love and Peace: Muslim/Christian Event on Saturday, September 11 Submitted by sdaughtry on Thu, 09/09/2010 - 10:49am.

St. Thomas Episcopal Church invites you to gather on Saturday, September 11 at 2pm to celebrate and give thanks for our common humanity as brothers and sisters created by one God.

Dr. Imad Damaj of the Virginia Muslim Coalition and the Rev. Susan N. Eaves will read passages from the Koran and the Christian Scriptures that speak of our shared understanding of the God who calls us into community, love of God, and love of neighbor.

Please join us for this occasion at St. Thomas' Episcopal Church, 3602 Hawthorne Avenue, Richmond, Virginia 23222.

Met a Jewish woman with a “Coexist” bumper sticker last night... it was right next to her “Pro-choice” sticker.

That is as delusional as if the Coexist had a swastika in place of the "X"

We must be the ones who were hit first, then we may respond, proportionately (which means if a terror bomb is set off in a US city, we could set off an equivalent explosion in a city of the attacking nation, not turn their capital to glass).

So did you agree with nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

[MrB]

Great idea for a photoshop...

[wbarmy]

Now that is one I had not heard of before. I will start researching into this at the soonest. Thank you.

[N. Theknow]

BTW - I stopped and was looking at one of these "Coexist" stickers at the post office once and the car owner came out and stood next to me.

I said, "Wow, when you focus on the spaces between the symbols, it really shows the hidden message doesn't it?"

I went into the building and when I came out 10 minutes later she was still staring at her car with a funny look.

Best laugh I have had in a long time.

This scares me as much as some freepers suggesting “They really know how to handle their criminals” comments.

Wars of attrition are no-win scenarios. If we can prove, say, that Iran provided the materials for a WMD that terrorists use against us, then it's goodbye Tehran.

That's called survival.

One thing we must always remember: we are bound by our Christian ethics never to make unprovoked war. We must be the ones who were hit first, then we may respond, proportionately (which means if a terror bomb is set off in a US city, we could set off an equivalent explosion in a city of the attacking nation, not turn their capital to glass).

I don't know where you got that but it certainly isn't in the bible. In the OT God directed His people to utterly destroy His enemies and to not leave one of them alive.

In the case of defending the innocent we must strike before the innocent is harmed. Islam destroys the innocent. The only way to stop islam from sdragging innocents to hell with it is to stamp out islam. The just death penalty, whether for an individual or a culture, is inherently Christian.

[John O]

If we can prove, say, that Iran provided the materials for a WMD that terrorists use against us, then it's goodbye Tehran.

If we can prove that a moslem commited an act of terrorism against us it should be goodbye mecca and medina (and the dome of the rock). Mecca and Medina should be nuked. Dome of the rock should be razed (or let the Israelis do it if they prefer).

"Why?" you ask. Because islam commands all it's followers to be terrorists. Terrorism isn't committed by some wacko who happens to be moslem. It is committed by someone who is wacko only BECAUSE he is moslem.

[elpadre]

didn't some of the crusades come out of England. I know that a family genealogist says she has seen documentation in English archieves that a forefather was knighted for fighting his way into Jerusalem.

I have no other knowledge, just wondering

[buccaneer81]

Works for me.

[Deagle]

The religious denominations do not seem to be anywhere near my beliefs when I was younger. Does this mean that our religious institutions are becoming PC?

The Apostle John and close confidant of Jesus Christ gave us some important information that Christians seem to overlook.

1Jo 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Islam fits this description completely as they deny that Jesus, son of God, came to earth in the flesh.

So why would a follower of Christ combine his worship with those that are antichrists?

[Frantzie]

Yes - some did. However - Christians who were constantly on the front lines were Greeks, Italians, Spaniards, Poles, Austrians/Hungarians, Germans, Christians in the balkans.

1100 years of being on the front lines to stop Islamic invasions.

[happygrl]

the formation of the One World Religion under the direction of the AntiChrist is forming before our eyes.

And if you won't be tolerant about it, YOU'RE A BIGOT!

and there will be re-education camps..........

[Frantzie]

David Pryce-Jones who writes for National Review wrote a book about Islam. The guy is very bright. He said Islam is really Arab tribalism geared towards all out conquest. Mohammed just took that and wrapped a “religion” around it.

[CynicalBear]

Both serve the same god and it’s not the God of the Bible.

[trailboss800]

Well spoken. Agree...

[CynicalBear]

>>One thing we must always remember: we are bound by our Christian ethics never to make unprovoked war.<<

Yeah, that’s what Joshua did at Jericho.
